“I am the key tool in overcoming my own challenges”

Over the years I have sought help from a number of professionals to help me with my anxiety, depression and stress related to the pressures at work, as a primary school teacher and single parent of two boys under the age of 9.  It was only when I met Atia that I felt truly comfortable enough to open up to her as she has a warm and calming demeanor which makes it easy to talk about anything.   Ongoing talk sessions with Atia during COVID, especially during the lockdown, truly helped to keep me from coming apart at the seams. A key point which I took away from my sessions with Atia, very early on, is that I am the key tool in overcoming my own challenges and I am more resourceful than I believed myself to be.
